Titans coach Mike Munchak said Wednesday that Britt's comments on Twitter won't bury him in his coach's doghouse. On Tuesday, Britt said the Titans were pulling "that Jared Cook card" on him and added that this year looks to be his final one with the club.

Cook is a former Titans tight end who felt he was underutilized before leaving the team this year via free agency.

In a conference call, Munchak was quick to note Britt leads all Titans receivers in reps — he has 106 — and that his nine Week 2 targets well outnumbered the two he saw in the opener. The higher workload comes despite a brief benching last weekend in an overtime loss to the Texans.

"We feel he's going to be a big contributor," Munchak said. "He needs to help us this weekend against San Diego because he's a guy that has had chances to make big plays, and we need to find a way for not only him but for the other guys to step up and make some plays for us. ... People get caught up in the numbers and what is going on, but that is something that will develop over the next two or three weeks, I feel."

As a whole, the Tennessee passing game has struggled through two games.

It's recorded 12 first downs and produced 11 plays of 10 or more yards, both fewest in the NFL. Britt has five catches on 11 targets for 43 yards and one first down.

"All head coaches talk about that," Munchak said. "You've just got to be smart with what you say. It's something that gets out quickly. You think you're having a conversation with one or two people. It's something you have to be much smarter with. Unfortunately, this is the lesson learned.

"Sometimes things are said that don't really mean anything bad about it. It just comes out wrong or it's out of context or people don't hear the whole conversation. These are the things you have to avoid in this league because a lot can be made out of nothing."
